The Pain-Free Approach

This website brings together a group of dedicated teachers who have been inspired by Aplomb, which is a French approach to body alignment, originally developed by Noëlle Perez. Created in the 1960s, Aplomb turned traditional thinking on its head — instead of examining people with back pain to see what they were doing wrong, Noelle observed and researched populations without prominent back pain to see what they were doing right. Her thought process was that by identifying and correcting what we do in our daily posture, we can rewire our bodies back to comfort. Back pain solutions named Balance (created by Jean Couch) and Spinefulness (created by Jenn Sherer), are direct descendants of Aplomb. The teachers listedon this website have been certified either in Aplomb (in France), Balance, and/or Spinefulness.
